CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_Quit</TT
> shuts down all SDL subsystems and frees the resources allocated to them. This should always be called before you exit. For the sake of simplicity you can set <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>SDL_Quit</TT
> as your <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>atexit</TT
> call, like:
<PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_AUDIO);
atexit(SDL_Quit);

CLASS="FUNCTION"
>atexit</TT
